Check that there is no deformation, defective contact, corrosion, or dam- age to the connector pins. Check that there is no damage or breakage to the outside of the con- nector. a If there is any oil, water, or dirt stuck to the connector, wipe it off with a dry cloth. If any water has got inside the connector, warm the inside of the wiring with a dryer, but be careful not to make it too hot as this will cause short circuits. a If there is any damage or break- age, replace the connector.
2] Fix the connector securely. Align the position of the connector correctly, and then insert it securely. For connectors with lock stopper, push in the connector until the stop- per clicks into position. 3] Correct any protrusion of the boot and any misalignment of the wiring har- ness. For connectors fitted with boots, cor- rect any protrusion of the boot. In addition, if the wiring harness is mis- aligned, or the clamp is out of posi- tion, adjust it to its correct position. a If the connector cannot be cor- rected easily, remove the clamp and adjust the position. q If the connector clamp has been removed, be sure to return it to its original position.
Check also that there are no loose clamps. 3) Connecting DT connectors Since the DT 8-pin and 12-pin heavy duty wire connectors have 2 latches respec- tively, push them in until they click 2 times. 1.
